Page 3 of 9

experience their nice and simple life style. The village is approximately 3 km

from the bungalow.

2. Bahubal Baddhabhumi: A killing ground used by the Pakistani Army during

the Liberation War of 1971, within two km from the bungalow. A monument

has been erected by the Government of Bangladesh on the hill top. A nice and

serene place for some remembrance!

3. Baikka beel: Approx. 30 km north-east

from the bungalow, Baikka Beel sanctuary in

the Hail Haor wetlands offers a spectacular

view, especially in winter times, from the watch

tower prepared for bird watching.

4. Lawachara National Park (LNP): Approx. 20

km north-east from the bungalow, situated in

Srimanagal, Maulvibazaar. It is a Semi-

evergreen hilly forest of West Bhanugach

Reserve Forest. LNP is the home of Hoolock

GibbonBangladeshs lone ape species that was

once abundant in Lawachara. It is one of the

last standings of the tropical rain forests that

ruled the Sylhet region once upon a time.

5. Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary: A

must go place for the high endurance thrill

seekers! Approx. 37 km east from the

bungalow is this much larger, wilder, remoter,

and far more adventurous place than LNP,

situated in Chunarughat, Habiganj. This wildlife

sanctuary is the home of Malayan Giant

Squirrel. If lucky, one may get across the rare

barking deer, fishing cat, or wild boar while walking

through the jungle trail or from the watch tower! The

Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary is a part of the Tarap

Hill Reserved Forest- the largest remnant of upland true

natural forest in the country.

6. Madhavkunda Waterfalls: Approx. 60 km from the

bungalow, situated in Borolekha thana of Maulvibazaar

http://www.wix.com/amtalinr/amtali-nature-resort

Page 4 of 9

District. An attraction for a large number of visitors every year.

7. Madhavpur Lake: A local lake in

Maulvibazaar with beautiful sceneries and

famous for big and old Rui fishes. Evening boat

rides in the summer are very calm and

pleasant.

8. Neelkantha tea stall: The famous tea

stall at Srimangal town with special seven-

layered tea.

9. Sitesh Babus Zoo: A private zoo maintained by a hunter turned

conservationist named Sitesh Chandra Deb in Srimanagal town, Maulvibazaar.

The zoo hosts black bear, white fishing cat, Indian pythons (one caught from

this very garden!), monkeys, deer, and a number of birds. They represent the

endangered and almost extinct species of the local jungles.

10. Shamshernagar Airfield: Situated approx. 45

km north-east from the bungalow, is the

historic Shamshernagar airfield which was used

as an active airbase during the second Burma

Campaign of World War II by the Allied forces.

Several squadrons of combat cargo as well as

troop carrier groups ran their operation during

the turbulent times, mainly during 1943-45.

Even though BAF is holding the current airbase at the area, you can actually

watch the ruins of the WWII air strip from the road side! A short journey into

the history

11. Satchari National Park: A really

beautiful place with preserved natural forest

located approx. 50 kilometers south-west of

the bungalow. It is one of the few protected

areas being developed by the Forest

Department as part of a co-managed eco-

tourism project under its Nishorgo initiative.

SNP is considered to be one of the best bird

watching destinations in Bangladesh where one can have the sight of resident

Red Jungle Fowl, Red-headed Trogon, Oriental Pied Hornbill, Pygmy

Woodpecker and many more. Among many other local animals, the chief

attractions of the place are the Hoolock Gibbon (in local term, Ulluk) and

http://www.wix.com/amtalinr/amtali-nature-resort

Page 5 of 9

Phayres Leaf Monkey, a species of Langur. A visit to the tribal Tipra village

will deliver a good anthropological experience to the interested tourists.

12. Humhum Waterfall and Rajkandi Forest: The place

for ultimate adventure in Sylhet through untamed

jungle experience to visit a waterfall which is even more

magnificent than Madhavkunda! Situated in Rajkandi

forest under Kurma bit range in Moulvibazaaar, the

place is around two hours drive and three hours trek

away from the bungalow. Rajkandi and Humhum were

hidden from public exposure even until early 2011.

However, visiting this place requires a strong will power

and high endurance capacity to explore the natural

world. The prize of successfully completing the trek, however, is much more

rewarding than the toil with a memory to remember for the rest of your life.

13. Other attractions: Among other distant attractions, there are Jaflong, the

shrines of Hazrat Shahjalal (Ra) and Hazrat Shahparan (ra), Uthla (the

flaming hill, and gas emitting pond near Haripur gas field) of Sylhet.
